Apprenticeships
Winky Hussey Professional Arts Training Program
For more than 40 years, Seattle Rep's renowned apprenticeships have been preparing theater artists and administrators from around the country for professional careers in theater. As we launch the 2024/25 Season, we are launching a new name for this program in memory of one of its most dedicated and beloved supporters: the Winky Hussey Professional Arts Training Program.
Our WHPATP Apprentices are bright, diverse, self-motivated individuals with basic training and experience in theater and the performing arts who are committed to strengthening their skills and talents. They are effective communicators with an enthusiasm for community building and self-discovery. And they go on to work at the country's top organizations (including right here at Seattle Rep).
Apprentices undertake responsibilities as members of their teams, contribute ideas, participate in department and staff meetings, and complete projects under the guidance of their supervisors. They also participate in professional workshops and seminars, which provide contact with theater staff, guest artists, and members of the Seattle arts community. Staff members guide the work of each Apprentice to help prepare them for a career in professional theater.
